See Christopher Owens Maintain His Mellow in ‘Here We Go Again’ Video

First clip from 'Lysandre' captures the Girls guy abroad

Former Girls frontman Christopher Owens may not have hit all of the marks with his considerably softened solo debut Lysandre, but the effort does come with a few considerable rewards. One of those is the song, “Here We Go Again,” an upbeat bit of modified Belle and Sebastian-style strum (same twee vibes, less lyrical brawn), which is fairly well summed up by its own chorus: “Don’t try to get me down / Don’t try to harsh my mellow.”

Indeed, if the Ryan Owen Eddleston-directed video is any indication, Owens and his non-band band are simply out to have some good clean fun. While on tour in the U.K., they participate in activities like air-drumming, swan appreciation, and walking in an Egyptian manner. In other words, it’s a bunch of footage from the road that aims to charm. West Coasters will be able to witness the group’s vintage bohemian allure in person later this month.
